I think the main issue here is that when a project is truly abandoned,
someone who would like to work on a project as a contributor can't
because there is no one to authorize that access.  This is just a
guess, but I would imagine that most people who have adopted an
abandoned project would have been happy to have been added as a
contributor instead if that had been an option.
